			'''Wordpress Basics'''
			Wordpress is a content management system that enables people to build, design, and update beautiful websites without knowledge of programming and coding. There are five important vocabulary words that are important to understand when using Wordpress.
			#Dashboard: The dashboard is where authorized users access the backend to edit, update, and modify the website.
			#Theme: The Theme provides the entire website's visual aesthetic, visual design, colors, fonts, etc.. The website can only have one theme.
			#Pages: The Pages are where users build, update, and delete consistent web content. Examples include "Contact Us", "About", etc.
			#Posts: The Posts are where users can share news, blog posts, and other informational updates. Posts can look alot like Pages.
			#Plugins: Plugins are special features that other programmers build and that you can download and install on your website. A good security practice is to never download a plugin unless it as at least 70,000 users and is compatible with your Theme.
